How to find the Mass Properties of a Part?

I'm not able to find how to do it. Can someone give me a quick run through?

 

Thanks.

Open the iProperties for the part, then click the Physical tab.

 

Make sure the Material is set correctly.  The mass is shown in the properties near the middle of the dialog box.  If it is showing as N/A, click the Update button and it should fill in.

Ok, it says it's 7.109lbmass, so that means is alittle over 7 lbs? 

 

Thanks.

Yes.  Just always make sure you set the material before believing the number it shows - the "Default" material does give a weight, so just because you see a number doesn't mean it's giving you useful information.

Of course it should be on the Inspection tab, but alas, isn't.

 

Right click on the top node of the browser.
